I had an amazing experience with a doe and fawn on my recent trip to Shenandoah National Park. Too long to retype here, but it's on my blog linked in my signature below in the section BRP Trip - Day 8 Writeup, Part 1.

No photos...but won't need one to remember the experience for the rest of my life.

Grizzlies on or near the roads are common in Yellowstone. They call it a bear jam when everyone stops their cars to get a look.

I can't believe how stupid some people are around wildlife. I once saw a guy in Yellowstone with his son. Boy was probably around 8 and daddy kept urging him to get closer to a bison - he was within 10 feet. I finally asked the guy if he was trying to get rid of the kid. His reply was that the rangers wouldn't allow the animals to get so close if it wasn't safe. I told him he shouldn't be reproducing.

I ran across this one while riding at lake Tahoe a few years back. Lucky he was going for a scrap of food that was in the road.

I once encountered a bull blocking a stretch of Route 66 in New Mexico. He wasn't moving and I didn't have the ***** to try and ride past him. Detour.
